7-Eleven Going Healthy?

It might be a little hard to believe that 7-Eleven, the self-proclaimed home of the Big Gulp, the Bite Bite (hot dog that is), and the Slurpee, now wants to be your go-to destination for healthy snacks. But, apparently the convenience store chain is trying something new. According toUSA Today, there will be a snack section makeover at 7-Eleven stores, which will include organic trail mix, veggie chips, dry-roasted edamame, and healthy popcorn. The chain is changing up its snack section at 8,000 stores nationwide. New displays of healthier snack options will be strategically placed in an easy-to-spot location near the front of the store. "Better-for-you is one of the fastest-growing segments of the snacking category," explained Rebecca Frechette, 7-Eleven's vice president of merchandising.
